Day 2:
Now
we have extracted after sleeping like a baby all night, we met a lady who
cleans our room. Her name was Daggah, we talked a lot about Banjul and
lifestyles here. We learned that she had five children and was a single mother,
she lived in a small house with only one room. They had no money for food so
she got an offer to work here four years ago. She was very happy for the offer,
since Tourism is important, but are often controlled by foreign interests, and
limited number of jobs for the local population. Since Banjul has both the rich
side and the poor, there are many rich who have a big house and lots of poor
people who are unable to get food. We have become good friends and invited her
to dinner that we will make on Saturday. <3
When we
arrived at the market, we saw many people and it was very hot but then we saw a
lot of fruits that we have not seen before and then we just had to try them. =D But it is a bit strange since Gambia has
few natural resources, and only one-sixth of the land is arable.
We bought
some sculptures that country people make, the sculptures were made of wood and
were very nice made.
